Biofilm-Interfacing Nanomaterials to Improve Antibiotic Delivery and Treatment of Bacterial Infections
Supervisor: Dr Joel Finbloom
My research focuses on the development of biofilm-interfacing nanomaterials designed to enhance the delivery and efficacy of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections. By engineering nanomaterials that can navigate and disrupt biofilm barriers, this work aims to overcome the inherent resistance mechanisms of microbial communities and improve therapeutic outcomes. Emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach, my studies integrate materials science, microbiology, and pharmacology to address critical challenges in infection control and drug resistance
Keywords: Bio-interfaces, nanomaterials, smart drug delivery, anti microbial resistance
Equipment: Confocal microscope, transmission electron microscope, zeta sizer
